The lead single off of Order In Decline talks about a narrator who feels like they’re in a chaotic world where there’s no one in charge. The track also describes the real world in the current situation in politics, with no way out of these problems.
[Verse 1]
Zero chances, no way out
No solutions, give in now
There's no point resisting, there's nobody listening
Are we just sick? (Sick)
Are we just tired? (Tired)
Apathetic, uninspired
What's to believe in, there's nobody leading
[Pre-Chorus]
So tell me what's real
I don't know if I can feel
[Chorus]
All that we have is just slipping away
And I don't believe that it's gonna be okay
You can't stop the bleeding, it's almost too late
You're leaving us all behind with hell to pay
[Verse 2]
All of the dearly beloved
Your time is up, they're out for blood
Misery made us so hopelessly faithless (Hey)
And now I can't believe (Hey) a single word that you say (Say)
Secrets kept, a thin disguise, empty threats are full of lies (Hey)
Do what you will, you just add to your bill now
[Pre-Chorus]
So tell me what's right
I don't see the light
[Chorus]
All that we have is just slipping away
And I don't believe that it's gonna be okay
You can't stop the bleeding, it's almost too late
You're leaving us all behind with hell to pay
(Pay, pay, pay)
[Bridge]
Silence, they don't hear you calling
The further down you fall
No, they're not there at all
'Cause they're already gone
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
So tell me what's real
I don't know if I can feel
So tell me what's right
I don't see the light
[Chorus]
All that we have is just slipping away
And I don't believe that it's gonna be okay
You can't stop the bleeding, it's almost too late
You're leaving us all behind with hell to pay

Deryck Whibley said in an interview
I think it’s a good representation of the album as a whole — not to say that every song sounds like Out for Blood. It’s a heavier rock album with different variations within that genre, I’d say. The record has dynamics… I mean, there are a couple of slower songs...
